BLACKPINK Ends ‘Deadline’ Tour as Rosé Rejects Rift Talk and Questions Swirl Over What Comes Next

The next release, a mini-album slated for February 27, arrives with no clarity on the members’ future together.

Overview

  • The seven-month DEADLINE World Tour closed on January 26 at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium after 81 shows and more than 2 million attendees.
  • Finale footage showed a group hug and Jennie in tears as Rosé delivered a reflective speech about their journey and thanked fans.
  • Viral clips and a backstage selfie led some fans to claim Jisoo was excluded, though these are interpretations based on circulating videos and photos.
  • Rosé said on the Call Her Daddy podcast that the members are like family and that time apart strengthened their bond.
  • Neither BLACKPINK nor YG Entertainment has addressed disbandment rumors or contract terms, and the group’s 2023 group-only renewal remains undisclosed in length.
